NRLA introduces new platform for portfolio and BtR landlords

The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) is teaming up with a real estate advisors to launch NRLA Living to support portfolio and Build-to-Rent landlords.

The organisation announced the launch of NRLA Living at the UKREiiF conference alongside agents Bidwells.

Ben Beadle, the chief executive of the NRLA, said: “The private rented sector is undergoing once-in-a-generation reforms, and the acute shortage of rented homes is creating significant issues for tenants.

“Traditional private landlords are pivotal to the future of the private rented sector and central to the NRLA’s mission, but we recognise the need for a diversity of offer if we are to meet demand.

“The launch of NRLA Living to support portfolio landlords and institutional investors with NRLA’s sector leading advice, compliance support, market intelligence and a voice that champions responsible landlords of all kinds, comes at a critical moment for the private rented sector, and at a time when the government most needs landlords to have confidence, to help them solve the housing challenges now and in the future.”

In a post on its website, the NRLA claims NRLA Living will help Build-to-Rent landlords manage their portfolios and optimise operations.

Increasingly important to UK’s housing mix

Iain Murray, partner and head of operational living at Bidwells, said: “Institutional‑backed residential portfolios at scale are becoming increasingly important to the UK’s housing mix, but operators, investors and businesses are facing unprecedented regulatory and operational complexity.

“NRLA Living arrives at exactly the right moment, giving large‑scale landlords, investors, and Build to Rent operators the clarity, insight and practical support they need to run efficient, compliant and resilient portfolios.

“At Bidwells, we see first‑hand how vital high‑quality data and informed guidance are to making confident long‑term investment decisions. Partnering with the NRLA on this new service means we can help accelerate the evolution of the UK’s operational living sector and support the organisations delivering the homes our communities urgently need.”
